How to fix my 1.5 year old BBQ ?

Question

I have a 1.5 year old BBQ (patio Chef) and it worked fine until last week.

Suddenly the flames are very low and it won't heat up above 200-250 degrees.

I tried to replace the propane tank, detach the tank & open the flames to man in order to release air from the tubes etc but nothing works.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You need to change the regulator.  The round shaped (looks like a flying saucer,  metal.)  They sell it at Home Depot or Lowe's or any home center.  It will do the trick

Answer 2

check for spiders making webs in the gas tubes before buying parts you don't need .

Answer 3

sounds like the regulator is bad.
